Verse 111.27
सो दानि पश्यामि अनाविलं पदं सुदेशितं नागवरेण तायिना ।
अत्यन्तनिष्ठापदम् आस्पृशे अहं संसारजातीमरणं प्रहाय ॥ २७ ॥
so dāni paśyāmi anāvilaṃ padaṃ sudeśitaṃ nāgavareṇa tāyinā |
atyantaniṣṭhāpadam āspṛśe ahaṃ saṃsārajātīmaraṇaṃ prahāya || 27 ||
But now do I see that pure state, for it has been so clearly revealed to me by the mighty noble Naga. I have attained that complete and perfect state, and have escaped the round of birth and death. (27)
